The current area of Kalumbila district covers what was previously known as Solwezi West Constituency for electoral purposes under the Electoral Commission of Zambia. Kalumbila as Solwezi West, the current Solwezi and Mushindamo districts then as Solwezi Central and Solwezi East respectively, formed what was the larger Solwezi district before it was split up to create the three independent districts. In the Zambian National Assembly, the three legislators representing these areas are still addressed using the old names as Solwezi West, Solwezi Central and Solwezi East Members of Parliament.
